Two contractors, including plumbing and mechanical contracting firm Joseph J. Magnolia Inc., have filed liens for the work they performed during renovation of the Trump International Hotel in Washington, District of Columbia, last year. Both businesses claim they were never paid for work performed on the project in 2016.
According to the Washington Post, Magnolia Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling ― a family-owned business with offices in Washington and suburban Maryland ― claims it is owed $2.98 million for plumbing and air conditioning work performed on the hotel, which occupies the historic Washington Old Post Office. The $212 million renovation of the 263-room luxury hotel was completed last September. Magnolia "completed all plumbing, mechanical, and HVAC work, along with site sewer, water, storm, and water services" on the project, according to its filing with the D.C. government.
